There was a small select menu but with something for everyone and we soon discovered the food was of a high standard. 3 of us shared 2 starters of tempura fish and vegetables, it was perfectly cooked, fresh and hot and the dip worked perfectly with the dish.
Our main courses (all fish dishes) were again presented well and were...

Lovely place, central location. Great selection of food for us and great kids menu. Really enjoyed our lunch today. They were able to cater for an eclectic mix of food preferences ! Would certainly recommend this place.

Stumbled upon this restuarant by accident whilst visiting Porthleven. What a find. Becuase the weather was beautiful we decided to eat outside on the little front terrace. It was glorious overlooking the harbour.
The food was beautifully presented and worth every penny, it was fresh and well presented.. The service was also excellent. Thankfully we live in Cornwall and will...
